Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

Chem exam today, but tomorrow another update for my characters!

Talvi, you have checked your PMs, right?

[tahujdt]

Wait, since when have dwarves learned to re-stack stuff?

Anyway, worry not about the lack of updates, I have been playing my save and taking notes, and I will put it into story form later.

I did, however, find some of my notes on fitting a Bionicle character into this transdimensional cesspool, and why anyone would really care. I turned them into a little exposition:

Spoiler: Prologue (click to show/hide)

Throughout reality, endless variations on the same dimension are possible. Not only possible, but almost certain. Most of those variations are too small to be noticed, so that they are generally ignored. The variations between the major ones are staggering, to which extent we do not even know. We do not know because each dimension has its own variation on methods for dealing with others. In most, the world is round and other dimensions are reached through technology and are either not acknowledged, or so mingled with that the idea is scary. In some, the world is flat and dimensional travel involves a wardrobe, a big cat, and can only target British people. In one, the world is a giant robot(though its inhabitants do not yet know this) and dimensional travel is the exclusive hands of a not-so-secret cabal of villains, each with their own personal agenda...

Spoiler: Chapter 0.5: exposition that didn't make it into the prologue (click to show/hide)

After Makuta Tridax's attempt to raise an army of a hundred infected Toa, each from an identical dimension, it was widely agreed on by the Toa that the dimensional portal technology was the most powerful weapon that the Makuta had. After the disappearance of Brutaka, it was the only way of getting in or out of that dimension whatsoever.

So they split up. Tahu, being the most combat-ready, took the most important target: Makuta Kojan's foothold on the southern tip of Voya Nui. A fairly small supplying facility, it had been ignored before because of its military irrelevance. Its dimensional portal, however, made it a crucial target.

[Lolfail0009]

Impressive. Not only are you a Bionicle fanboy with writing talent, but one who knows that the Makuta is actually a group rather than one badass motherf***er.

[Reudh]

Eh, while Bionicle is awesome and all, I don't really think another IP shoehorned into canon is that useful... :/

Oh wait, I'm assuming the job of Mr Frog. Heheh.

[Aseaheru]

Well, i have A image, but all the old ones are still not here. Hope this link is the one...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

IT WORKS! WOO! And yes, it is as bad as it looks.

New ones are going up.

[Mr Frog]

@Asea:

The mythical scanner has been found!!! Holy crap.

*ahem*

Not gonna lie, I'm not even really exactly sure what I'm supposed to be seeing in that first one... I see a blast door of some sort being raised/lowered, revealing a hallway which has been hastily (and unsuccessfully) barricaded with bricks in order to prevent something from getting in (or maybe out?). Not sure what the thing is sitting in the hallway; it looks to be anything from a pile of scientific instruments to a very oddly-dressed humanoid.

My advice, should you choose to take it, is to work on defining dimensions better. I can make out the individual 2-D shapes comprising the image (worthy of praise by itself -- pencil's a bitch to work in), but I'm having difficulty assembling them into a coherent scene. Try varying the thickness of the outlines to give an idea of how close each shape is to the viewer in relation to each other (e.g. a thicker outline means it's closer; a really thin line means the two shapes are touching each other side-by-side).


@Reudh:

I'm kind of sketchy about tying Bionicle in, too, but it's not so much because it's another IP as it is because it's kind of a huge thing to not have ever been mentioned before in-story. It's still possible to pull off if one can provide an airtight reason as to why none of it had come up yet, but I'd advise extreme caution on Tahu's part.

[Aseaheru]

And here they are. prepare for eye-melting.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Now for there crew thingie...

And now.... AIRCRAFT! burn me now...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And now the thing that i cant remember is bad or not, the wingless aircraft...

TANKS.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

and the random singular thing that i still decided to scan.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yes, there are more images.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

EDIT. as the frog passed me in the upload line.
The first image is a blast door closing just before a barricade with a guard guarding.

OH! a warning. I cant spell. At all. Que the errors.
Oddly enough the last sentence had no errors, while i spell sentence wrong here... twice.

[tomio175]

No offense, but it's rather ironic that you said que the errors...
(Its spelled queue, unless you're speaking french)

[Splint]

My god. I.... No comment.

[tahujdt]

I do have an airtight reason, thank you.

Spoiler: more exposition for non-Bionicle fans (click to show/hide)

The Makuta, led by Teridax(the original Makuta, from 2001), are engaged in a huge plot called, get ready for an awesome name,
The Plan
That involves double-, triple-, and quadruple-crosses and the unwitting help of the Toa, and they don't want anyone mucking around in their dimensional territory. Aside from the Makuta, the only being who could create portals was Brutaka, now dead.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

as for shoe-horning in another IP, first of all I do not intend for them to become a part of the dimensional war, and second, it is still preferable to anyone mentioning ponies. (Except for maybe dissecting them, that was kinda funny.)

[Aseaheru]

My god. I.... No comment.

Its bad, right? because if its not then i would be shocked.
Hey, no errors!

[Lolfail0009]

shoe-horning in another IP

IP? I'm guessing we're not talking Internet Protocol here?
Did I miss something?
With every bullet point so far?
And every one coming?

Intellectual property.

And Asea, that's awesome - I can see a lot of time and effort's gone into that work

[Aseaheru]

Really? I look at it and I run...
Ah, the bane of old work.

[Mr Frog]

Ah, the bane of old work.

If you're capable of finding flaws in your old work, it means you've improved since then

E: Or, more specifically, that you are now capable of improving.
